Tips & Advice

Can arborists protect trees from lightning strikes?

Trees take years to grow and can add value to a property, and a lightning strike can destroy a tree in a instant. Many arborists offer lightning protection systems that can protect trees from being damaged by lightning strikes. These systems use copper cables to ensure that in a lightning strike, the lightning is harmlessly diverted to the soil.

What is soil aeration?

Certain conditions can cause soil to become hard and compacted, and this can make it difficult for grass and trees to access the nutrition they need to thrive. With soil aeration, the soil is perforated with tiny holes, loosening the compaction and making it easier for roots to connect with the air, water, and vital nutrients they require.

How can arborists assist with tree planting?

Arborists can tell which species of trees are most likely to thrive in your location based on soil conditions and local climate. Also, trees need to be planted at the proper depth to thrive, and an arborist will provide guidance in this area.

Does tree pruning need to be done by a professional?

Tree trimming can be quite dangerous for the person doing it, and the U.S Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries lists it as one of the most hazardous professions in the nation. Falling branches can cause injury, and electrocution can occur if tree pruning takes place in close proximity to power lines. For these reasons, tree pruning is best handled by a skilled professional.

What are the benefits of tree pruning?

Tree pruning can have a huge aesthetic impact, and, if artfully done, it can greatly improve a tree's appearance. Tree pruning can also boost the health of your landscape. By thinning a tree's canopy with pruning, the tree and the landscape beneath it will be able to access more air and sunlight, resulting in improved vitality.

When is tree removal necessary?

As specialists dedicated to tree maintenance and care, arborists view tree removal as a last resort, but there are some cases in which removal is necessary. If a tree is dying, prompt removal is essential, since the tree could fall and cause personal injury or property damage. Tree removal is usually recommended if more than 50 percent of the tree is damaged or diseased. Tree removal might also be necessary if the root structure is causing extensive property damage or safety hazards such as on public sidewalks.

When is tree pruning necessary?

Tree pruning is necessary when a branch is dead or diseased, and in these cases, pruning can prevent healthy parts of the tree from becoming decayed. Crossing branches can damage the tree, and tree pruning will alleviate this condition. Tree pruning is also necessary when low-growing branches create a safety hazard.

What guidelines should I keep in mind when selecting an arborist?

When selecting an arborist, it is important to consider education, and seek an arborist who has been degreed in a discipline, such as tree biology. It is also important to choose an arborist who is bonded, licensed, and insured, which protects you if there is an accident on the job.
Look for an arborist with current certification with a professional organization such as the International Society of Arboriculture. Finally, request references, and use them to get in touch with former clients to see if the arborist has a record of providing effective and ethical care.

What services do arborists provide?

Arborists provide tree pruning, and they can offer insight on the pruning techniques that are most beneficial for tree health and overall safety. If a tree is dying, an arborist can provide tree removal services. An arborist can also assist in pairing the right type of tree with the right location. Finally, an arborist can provide trimming services if a tree has been damaged in a storm, or needs to be pared back for safety reasons.

What is an arborist and how is it different from a tree service?

An arborist is a professional who has studied the cultivation and management of vines, plants, trees, and shrubs. Arborists often have a degree in tree biology or a similar discipline, along with certification from an organization such as the International Society of Arboriculture. Like arborists, a tree service handles many aspects of tree care, but most tree service professionals do not have the extensive formal training that arborists possess.

They were the most reasonable in pricing, and I couldn't be happier we went with them. The branches I needed removed were done so in a very neat manner. They were on time, and left my yard cleaner than they found it! I would recommend them to anyone!

I don't know, maybe the management changed, but whoever left unfavorable comments maybe be hired a different company. :)They did an excellent work on my property. I was removing three trees, and wanted a heavy trimming on another five or six. The long story short, the crew behaved respectfully, listen to my suggestions, did a professional good job too. Yes, they did damaged a gutter, but without any question they sent a specialist who install a new one. What to complain? The prices unbeatable, the project manager Ryan was as everything you wish a professional be. I have lots of trees, for the next job I won't be looking for anybody else.

Have used ACE Tree Surgery 3 times in the past 12 yrs. Cut down large trees & trimmed branches from giant hardwoods. Excellent service every time. Very respectful of surrounding landscaping & yard. Prompt, efficient service. Thank you David Gaddy & Crew for a job well done today!

I have seen Treejob working in my neighborhood in Atlanta several times over the past few years. My neighbors have all seemed to be pretty pleased with their work. Recently, I had a large tree die and one of the Treejob guys knocked on my door when they were back in the area working for my neighbor. Knowing that I needed to get the tree done, I got an estimate from him. The price seemed pretty fair for the amount of work and they said that they would take care of the permit with the city for the removal as well which was an added bonus. After about a week, I got a call that the permit had been approved. The work was not actually able to get done for a few more weeks because of all the rain and holidays in December. After a few dry days, the crew showed up as promised and removed the tree with precision. I have to say, I'm a fan. I will certainly be using them the next time I need anything done. Thanks again guys.

I've hired Treejob on 4 separate occasions to preform services at my home. I've been satisfied with each one. They have done trimming and removals around my yard and pool. The last two jobs involved removing a group of pines with a bobcat and the other was more skilled work. They took down a large tree in between my glass roof home extension, koi pond and pool. They had to rope everything down and hand carry the debris out. It was pretty impressive to watch. I believe they give good prices for a company with insurance from my research. The job where they removed the large tree in between everything cost as much as the job where they removed 7 pines but I understood they were preformed very differently. I've been happy in the past and seeing as there's still work in the future, I'm sure they'll be back!

A huge tree fell on our home during a storm a few weeks ago and Justin from TreeJob was there within the hour. The crew showed up the next morning and removed the massive tree out of our home. TreeJob worked directly with our insurance company and made the whole process as painless as possible under the circumstances. After seeing the crews work I had them take down another large pine that was close to the house so that we didn't have to experience this ever again. During the three days they were working at my property several of my neighbors ended up getting them to do some work in their yards as well. The crews seemed to be very experienced and took extra care not to cause further damage to our landscaping. Thanks again for a job well done

I hired Treejob to remove 2 dead trees and trim dead branches out of all the trees over my home and driveway. The crew came out on a Saturday and skillfully removed the trees and limbs. They had a hauling truck come out on Monday to clean up and haul away all the trimmings. I can't say enough about the professionalism and the expertise of the crew. I will absolutely be calling them the next time I have a need for tree service.

We contracted with this company to take down a couple of dead trees in our yard. While the estimation process went very well, as soon as we signed the contract, everything seemed to go downhill. We were told the work would begin on Monday (we met for the estimation the previous Thursday and felt this was a fair timeline), and when the guys did not show up to do the work, the blame was somehow put back on us because we called over the weekend to discuss the possibility of future services which the company took as us being undecided. However, we were always committed to the removal of the two trees and had signed a contract as such and were expecting them the next Monday. When inquiring why they did not show on the Monday, we were told that they could not give us a particular day that they would come out to do the work because this type of job is considered a "filler" and we basically needed to be on-call for when the contractor was available. We informed the project manager that that was not possible given our work schedules and we needed to know a particular day to clear out our work schedule and have a phone call at least 30 minutes prior to their arrival so we could secure our two dogs. After a week (and no communication), two very snarky men showed up at 8:30 in the morning as we were walking to our cars to head to our jobs for the morning (no calls, no warnings...not even a knock on the door to say they were starting the work). The communication with the project manager is completely lacking, they have zero customer service, and if you approach them about your concerns the fault is somehow put back on the customer. To top it all off, the project manager was caught in several lies stating he "left us messages" earlier in the week saying that the workers would be out Friday morning, however, the actual contractors that showed up at our house said that THEY were not even contacted by the project manager until Friday morning as to when to come do the work. Overall very bad experience dealing with this company. The whole process was infuriating, especially dealing with a project manager that is arrogant and refusing to take any fault in his failure to communicate. I would not recommend to anyone, ever. Lesson learned.
